     An attempt is made to guess the overall cosmic abundance of
     `metals' and the contribution made by the energy released in their
     production to the total intensity of extragalactic background
     light (EBL). With a comparable or somewhat larger amount coming
     from white dwarfs, and a probably quite modest contribution from
     AGNs, one can fairly easily account for the lower end of the range
     of existing estimates for the total EBL intensity (50to 60 nwt
     m$^{-2}$ sterad$^{-1}$), but it seems more difficult should some
     higher estimates (90 to 100 in the same units) prove to be
     correct.
